New Studio Website!

Digital Scrapbooking, My Minds Eye, Two Peas in a Bucket /

blogimage1You’ll notice a couple of changes around here:). While not all of the blog is finished (the links to my free downloads, tutorials, and  new flickr groups are not up yet), the studio site is! I’m so excited to introduce this great new resource for those of you looking for my designwork. The Studio is place to find my newest paper crafting releases from My Minds Eye, digital scrapbooking collections at Two Peas in a Bucket, where to buy my designs, and the latest design news! There’s also a fantastic new project gallery that will be updated with design projects regularly! Probably my favorite new thing that will be coming to the blog in the next couple of days is an open group on flickr for you to upload photos of your projects using my paper craft supplies and digital scrapbooking kits! The group is called Your CG Creations and you can go ahead and start uploading stuff…it just hasn’t hit my sidebar yet. I’m excited to see what you create! 

So go ahead and take a gander at the new site!

New Website

Digital Scrapbooking, My Minds Eye, Stuff I Love, Two Peas in a Bucket /

If you’ve noticed an absence of blogging it is because I have been trying to get together a new website that hopefully will be up and running at the end of this week! It will be a great resource for my design news, projects with products, new paper crafting products, digital scrapbooking products, and where to buy them. The blog will get a new makeover as a result as well! There will be new flickr groups and more:). So excuse my absence a bit for this coming week and I’ll have this new website up and running! I’m pretty excited about it! You’ll even get sneak peeks of my new products coming out WAY before they actually hit CHA and stores! 

Happy Sunday!

Free Task List Design and Peony Place GiveAway!

75 Comments / Card Nirvana, Digital Scrapbooking, Free Digital Downloads-Freebies-Free Digital Printables, Two Peas in a Bucket /

It’s a freebie day! If you’re like me, you are all over the place all day long: kids, work, dinner, shopping…the list goes on and on! And sometimes I’ll think of something TODAY, that I need to remember TOMORROW…so I came up with these cute little task lists that are SUPER easy to use. They are formatted on a 8.5 x 11 paper and you just need to cut it right down the middle. I put the tasks into boxes with lines because I sort of like to categorize what I’m trying to accomplish…home stuff, work stuff, etc. It’s also sorted into TODAY and TOMORROW.img_1419

I’ll do a drawing for the winners…for every 20 commenters I will draw a name and you get to choose ONE KIT from my new Peony Place collection! So get people to visit and comment! I’d love to give out a lot!!!! Here are the kits you get to choose from!

Kitchen 1 2 3: New recipe card sets coming to 2Peas…See How I Used Them

2 Comments / Digital Scrapbooking, Holiday Projects, Two Peas in a Bucket /

My kitchen recipes has been a sore spot for, well, forever. I usually keep everything in a plastic bag or pushed into the cook books I love the most. Not exactly contusive for say, actually, FINDING a recipe. And I really do have tons of free floating recipes…things I have ripped out of magazines, recipes friends have written on napkins for me, my grandmother-in-law’s pie crust recipe. They are just floating around the house…not the least bit usable until I think of one and dig it out.

So almost more for me than anyone else, I created a line with Jen Allyson at 2Peas that will be released on Tuesday (Feb 10) called Kitchen 123. It is a recipe organization system. I created 2 different types of tab systems and a holiday tab set that I plan on using for more than just kitchen recipes, but for projects too. I’ll post my valentine’s day project so you can see! But for now, here’s how I used the recipe cards:

First, you need to find a good “box.” I know if I do this, then it will make it special. I think it would be cool to make the box a project itself. If you do this, post a link in the comments to you photo or blog post on it! I decided to go with something really clean that would show off the design. I got this box from the Container Store. These were MADE to put something pretty in!

20042

 

Here are my previews of the recipe sets I did along with the photos I took of the box I put together for me. I’m sure as I add cards to it that it will change and grow. But the best part? I plan to keep most of the cards digitally so if one gets oil or water on it, no problem! Just re-print! I did print extra cards with lines though so I could have one handy to write up a recipe. I don’t know how many times I’ve had someone over (or I’ve been over someone else house) and I asked for the recipe. They it would get written on a piece of paper and, inevitably, end up in my plastic sack!

carinagardner_2ps_kitchen123_antiqueprev

carinagardner_2ps_kitchen123_holidaytabprev

The last one it my favorite! I plan on using it for projects AND recipes! I’m totally making a post on 2peas to get people to give me their holiday projects and recipes!

Sneak Peak at Tomorrow’s Releases

Digital Scrapbooking /

Hi everyone! I feel like I have been ousted as the family blogger since Josh started blogging last week. His posts are way more interesting than mine, so how can I compete? While I am getting my self-esteem back together, I will only post my releases for 2Peas (back to business as usual:)). So here’s what’s coming out tomorrow!

This is the last of the swatches line.

The girl and boy albums

These are awesome! IOU Cards! Perfect to go with any gift!

Alright! There’s your sneak peek. And Merry Christmas! I hope you are getting to do a little more relaxing and that you don’t have too much Christmas shopping left!
